I don't agree with all of the constant backlash from players against other players who are upset.

Square-Enix are ultimately the ones responsible for setting up the expectations for male viera and dancer. Square-Enix is the company that released the male viera promo art, and they're the ones who said we would be getting viera as a new race. Square-Enix is the company that solidified male viera in lore books. And Square-Enix is the company that proved that just because a gender is rare (like male cats) that they can be playable characters. Square-Enix has tight control over the information they put on the internet, and they're responsible for guiding the hype train and ensuring that people's expectations are in check.

I know people are disappointed, but please don't harass each other for false expectations when the company responsible for planting those seeds did so intentionally. They knew this was going to happen, and they did it anyways. They control how the information gets shared.

If anything can be learned from this is just don't buy into the hype, and don't trust anything Square-Enix hints at without proof. It sucks that they're squandering their trust this way--but that's ultimately their decision to make.
